Package module returns error 'package' is not a valid attribute for a Play

[Brian Dunbar]

All,

This made me unreasonably excited.

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/package_module.html

And end to having to define multiple statements for each 'linux distro'.  Neat!

'Installed' Ansible 2 locally ..

$ ansible --version

ansible 2.0.0 (devel 591c81e95f) last updated 2015/11/20 10:08:09 (GMT -500)

  config file =

  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

A quickie playbook ..

---

##

# roles/elasticsearch tasks

#

  - name: Install latest version of elasticsearch

    package:

      name: "elasticsearch"

      state: "latest"

And it breaks ..

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory/reliam.hosts roles/elasticsearch/tasks/main.yml

ERROR! 'package' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to have been in '/Users/bdunbar/git/legacy-tmp/roles/elasticsearch/tasks/configure.yml': line 6, column 5, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  - name: Install latest version of elasticsearch

    ^ here

That file you reference is a role task file, not a playbook. As such you cannot run it with ansible-playbook.

You will have to create a proper playbook to execute that role.
